"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
If Verizon would ever get off their fat lazy asses and make FIOS available here in Redneckistan (Calvert County) I'd snap up one these bad boys in a heartbeat. But since I've got their DSL service it ain't gonna happen any time soon...
My buddy has a Roku, and he certainly agrees with TRKoF. I picked up a Samsung blu-ray player a year and a half ago, that also does Netflix, Pandora, Youtube, and Blockbuster. Streaming Netflix and Pandora have both been game changers for me. So much so that it always takes me 5 minutes to figure out how to turn on live TV, like today when I'm Watching Fox News for obvious reasons.
You're putting up a brave front, Rodge. I admire that. And I'm not here to gloat; my Mac Mini TV server was fried in a recent lightning strike. That hurt.
Still, the heartache of knowing you could have had a $99 Apple TV just a few days later … it must be crushing.

ReplyDeleteI understand that Verizon has stopped installing fiber optic in favor of WIFI.

ReplyDeleteI have a Roku box on 3Mb DSL VZ and it works great! I always get 4 dots of quality and often HD unless someone else in the house is on the network.
ReplyDeletePlus .. you don't need a computer to watch, just a television and access to a wifi signal.
ReplyDeleteNote, some men also need access to the wife signal.

Why in god's name would I want to pay a $40 cult tax for something that couldn't possibly improve anything ROKU offers? What am I missing.
